does Intel compiler set a preprocessor symbol LINUXI (on linux) to identify itself?

[retspeej]

I came across some code like this
#if (LINUXA || LINUXI || LINUXP)
which tested if it was Absoft, Intel or Portland linux compilers (as opposed to something unsupported).
I can't see these symbols defined anywhere in this particular package.
I recall a very old Microsoft compiler that had a predefined preprocessor symbol MSDOS so you could test if the code was being used on the appropriate platform.
Do Intel compilers generate some preprocessor symbol like LINUXI?

When you run ICL you get the pre-processor symbols for VC plus the __INTEL_COMPILER symbols (same as for the linux version) which you can read about in the ICL documentation.

What that macro I'm not sure. Where did you find it?

Every C/C++ compiler has some set of PredefinedANSI-Compliant macroslike __FILE__, __LINE__, __DATE__, etc., andPredefinedCompiler-Specific macros.All these macros are generated by a compiler.

As Tim said, the__INTEL_COMPILER macro is defined in "Intel C++ compiler and User guide". You may download a copy of it from http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/compilerpro/en-us/cpp/lin/main_cls_lin.pdf.
